Stats for Teams Searching for Their First Cup
| Team | Years in the NHL | Cup Final Appearances | Closest They’ve Come |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vancouver Canucks | 51 | 3 | Game 7 Cup Final losses in both 2011 and 1994. No one in Vancouver will ever forget LaFayette’s post or the ensuing riots. |
| Buffalo Sabres | 51 | 2 | Game 6 in 1999. Losing in overtime, no thanks to Brett Hull’s foot in the crease. |
| San Jose Sharks | 30 | 1 | Game 6 in 2016. They’ve never been able to shed their label as chokers. |
| Nashville Predators | 23 | 1 | Game 6 in 2017. Nashville fans still rue the bad call on Sissons’ go-ahead goal. |
| Ottawa Senators | 29 | 1 | Game 5 in 2007. A heartbreaking series for that culminated in the infamous Emery-Phillips mixup. |
| Vegas Golden Knights | 4 | 1 | Game 5 in 2018. Luca Sbisa hands the game to Lars Eller to end the Knights historic run. |
| Florida Panthers | 28 | 1 | Swept by Colorado in 1996, despite the year of the rat. |
| Arizona Coyotes | 25 | 0 | Lost in 5 games to the LA Kings in 2012. Dustin Brown isn’t admired by Glendale faithful. |
| Winnipeg Jets | 27 (1979-1996, 2011-2018) | 0 | Defeated by the Golden Knights in 5 games in 2018. Canada’s best hope was no match for Ryan Reaves’ heroics. |
| Minnesota Wild | 21 | 0 | Swept in the 2003 Conference Finals. Despite a disappointing playoff history, they did end Patrick Roy’s career in spectacular fashion. |
| Columbus Blue Jackets | 21 | 0 | The Jackets have only won one playoff series in their history, but what a series it was, upsetting the top-seeded Lightning in 2019. |
Coyotes fans have a little bit more to cheer for this year with AZ online sports betting primed and ready, fans can now wager on their favorite team! Could this be the year the Coyotes make a push for their first Stanley Cup?
